Three Parameter Logistic Model

The three parameter logistic curve is defined by the equation

                                              r

where is the final size achieved, is a scale parameter, and is the x-ordinate of the point of inflection of the curve.

The curve has asymptotes yj = 0 as xj - and as xj . Growth rate is at a maximum when yj = /2, which occurs when xj = . Maximum growth rate corresponds to

The following constraints apply to the fit coefficients:

The response feature vector g for the 3 parameter logistic function is defined as
